Good Times Key West

Member since August 2016 Key West, United States
Background
A marine mechanic by trade, the captain needed to get out of the shop. That's when he started Good Times Key West. Every day now he enjoys sharing the amazing activities and scenery that the Florida Keys backcountry has to offer. Fishing, snorkeling, sandbars, dolphin viewing, and much more.
Techniques
Set tunes, set anchor, set chum. Light tackle rods off the stern for snapper, Big poles up on top rocket launchers with live baits. catch some table fare, and scream some drag. Or pull up the beach and let the wife and kids play, while you walk the beach sight casting to fish in the shallows. Happy family + happy fisherman = Good Times Key West. Other activities include snorkeling, dolphin watching, sunset trips, and my personal favorite remote island/ sandbar sessions.

December mahi and sailfish!
December mahi and sailfish!
Dec 3, 2025 Key West
Yesterday was a pretty special day. Not only for our birthday girl onboard, but also for the crew. We spotted, chased, and caught multiple sailfish in as shallow as 25โ€™ of water on the reef. As we ventured offshore it didnโ€™t take long before we found some December mahi in 150โ€™. We whacked a few mahi, then trolled our way back home, along the way we found some bonus mackerel in hawks channel. Everyday is different and yesterday was certainly one to remember.

Offshore bite heats up with cooler temps
Offshore bite heats up with cooler temps
Oct 30, 2025 Key West
The cooler weather is bringing our winter time fisheries. Live bait has been plentiful. Pelagic species including Blackfin tuna and mackerel are pushing in shallower towards the reef line. Makes for less commute and more fishing time! Inshore bite has been steady with impressive numbers and size of a verity of species. Cobia have been found on the wrecks. Big muttons in the shallow waters of the backcountry, and quality yellowtail and lane snappers on the patch reefs. Weather your looking to go offshore or inshore fishing while in Key West, weโ€™d love to get you hooked up.

Inshore snapper bite is on fire!
Inshore snapper bite is on fire!
Nov 18, 2024 Key West
With exception of a few days, the wind has been blowing 20mph+ everyday for the last two months. Luckily our 24โ€™ Sailfish is flexible enough to fish not only open water, but also allows us to hide from the winds in the calm, scenic backcountry waters. The bite has been on fire with a verity of snappers, jacks, and no shortage of sharks. We like to call these trips โ€œdinner and a showโ€. Every get plenty to eat, and our marnia does a great job of โ€œcook your catchโ€. One last great thing about this fishery on a wi dy day, is that we have a no sea-sickness guarantee. Now, stop scrolling and lets start casting!
